Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Tenancy in common

Explanation:

This tenant could use a legal agreement known as Tenancy in common. This agreement is established between two people who are co-tenants of a residence, but while one person is interested in purchasing insurance to protect themselves from potential liability, the other tenant is not willing to purchase insurance. In this case, Tenancy in common, allows only one of the tenants to have support with the right of survivorship and in case that tenant dies, the right will not pass to the other tenant.

Misbah Corporation manufactures two styles of lampslong dasha Bedford Lamp and a Lowell Lamp. The following per unit data are​ a
kvasek [131]

Answer:

D. 8.000 Bedford Lamps and 2.500 Lowell Lamps

Explanation:

The computation of the optimum operating income is shown below:

Particulars          Bedford Lamp         Lowell Lamp

Sales price          $30                         $35

Less: Variable costs $18                         $ 23

Contribution                 $12                         $12

Machine hours           2                          4

Contribution per machine hour 6 3

(Bedford = 12 ÷ 2, Lowell = 12 ÷ 4)  

As we can see that the contribution margin per hour of Bedford Lamp is more than that of Lowell lamp so  the production of Bedford Lamp should produced first and then Lowell Lamp.

And, required hours to make 8,000 units of bedford lamp is

= 8,000 × 2

= 16.000 hours

Now Balance Hours is

= 260,00 - 16,000

= 10,000 hours  

Lowell lamp that can be made from 10000 hours is

= 10,000 ÷ 4

= 2,500 Lowel Lamps

shutvik [7]

Answer:

7.98%

Explanation:

The Rate of Return (ROR) is the gain or loss of an investment over a period of time compared to the initial cost

Starting year 2, Annual O&M cost in year N = Annual O&M cost in year (N - 1) + $750

Annual net benefit  = Annual revenue - Annual O&M cost

In year 10, Annual revenue ($) = 72,000 + 35,000 salvage value = 107,000

Rate of Return (ROR) of Annual net benefit is computed using Excel11 IRR function as follows.

Year (N) Revenue ($) Cost ($) NAB ($)

0                                     4,50,000 -4,50,000

1               72,000 4,500 67,500

2               72,000 5,250 66,750

3               72,000 6,000 66,000

4               72,000 6,750 65,250

5               72,000 7,500 64,500

6               72,000 8,250 63,750

7               72,000 9,000 63,000

8               72,000 9,750 62,250

9               72,000 10,500 61,500

10              1,07,000 11,250 95,750

ROR of NAB = 7.98%

The following events took place at a manufacturing company for the current year: (1) Purchased $96,300 in direct materials. (2)
andrezito [222]

Answer:

$90,139.00

Explanation:

ending Work in process inventory = Beginning WIP + Direct Materials + Direct labor + Material Overhead - Cost of goods manufactured

Beginning Work In Progress = 0

Direct Materials = 0.80*$96,300

                           = $77,040

Direct labor = $57,300

Material Overhead = indirect labor + other manufacturing head

                                = $14,900 + $108,300

                                = $123,200

ending Work-in-Process Inventory

= beginning inventories + direct material + direct labor + material overhead

= (0 + $77,040 + $57,300 + $123,200)*0.35

= 257,540*0.35

= $90,139

Therefore, The value of the ending Work-in-Process Inventory is $90,139.

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Basic earning per share $0.21 per share

Explanation:

Basic Earning per share = ( Net Income - Preferred stock dividend ) / Weighted Average outstanding shares

Basic Earning per share = ( $200,000 - $50,000 ) / 700,000

Basic Earning per share = $150,000 / 700,000

Basic Earning per share = $0.2143 / share

Weighted average Outstanding shares = 500,000 + 200,000

Weighted average Outstanding shares = 700,000 shares
